The Fall from 2013 Irish TV with Gillian Anderson is on Prime. Better than average TV.

While bug zappers do kill insects, they are generally ineffective at controlling mosquito populations. They primarily attract and kill harmless insects, including beneficial pollinators, rather than specifically targeting mosquitoes.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:
How they work: Bug zappers use UV light to attract insects, which are then electrocuted by a charged metal grid.

Why they are ineffective against mosquitoes:
  • Mosquitoes are not primarily attracted to UV light:
    They are more drawn to carbon dioxide and body odor, which are not emitted by bug zappers.

  • They kill a wide range of insects:
    Bug zappers indiscriminately kill various insects, including beneficial pollinators, which can disrupt the ecosystem.

  • Limited effectiveness:
    Studies have shown that bug zappers only kill a small percentage of insects, and even fewer are mosquitoes.

  • May even increase mosquito populations:
    By killing beneficial insects that prey on mosquitoes, bug zappers could inadvertently lead to a higher mosquito population.
More effective alternatives for mosquito control:

  • Mosquito traps: These traps are designed to specifically attract and capture mosquitoes.

  • Repellents: DEET and picaridin are effective repellents that can deter mosquito bites.

  • Eliminating breeding grounds: Getting rid of standing water, where mosquitoes lay their eggs, is a crucial step in controlling their population.

The White Lotus.

Only reason I can't find for everyone liking it so much is because they enjoy shows where literally every character is annoying AF.
